Lincoln Navigator Disc Brake Caliper Kit in US

When a caliper on the Lincoln Navigator seizes, leaks, or drags, the damage does not stop at the caliper. A partially seized caliper on your Navigator keeps the brake pad in continuous contact with the rotor, wearing the pad unevenly and scoring the rotor surface. By the time the caliper on the Lincoln Navigator is identified as the fault, the pads are typically worn asymmetrically and the rotor is damaged. A caliper kit from GeoBrakes addresses every compromised component on your Lincoln Navigator together.

What Is Included in the Lincoln Navigator Disc Brake Caliper Kit

The kit for your Lincoln Navigator includes the disc brake caliper at the correct left or right hand specification for the Navigator, either new OEM-spec or quality remanufactured to the Lincoln Navigator piston dimension and hydraulic pressure rating, brake pads in ceramic or semi-metallic formulation matched to the Navigator caliper and rotor specification, caliper hardware with slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips for correct caliper float on the Lincoln Navigator, brake lubricant for correct pin and shim installation on your Navigator, and copper washers or banjo bolt seals for the brake hose connection where required by the Lincoln Navigator application.

When a Caliper Kit Is the Correct Service Choice for the Lincoln Navigator

A caliper kit is the right call for the Lincoln Navigator in three specific situations. After a seized or dragging caliper, because the pads and often the rotor on your Navigator are already compromised. During a high-mileage Navigator overhaul at 150,000 kilometres or more, because caliper piston seals and guide pin boots on the Lincoln Navigator are typically at or beyond their service life. After a brake fluid leak at the caliper, because fluid contamination of the Navigator brake pad renders the friction material permanently ineffective on your Lincoln Navigator.

New vs. Remanufactured Caliper for the Lincoln Navigator

New OEM-specification calipers for the Lincoln Navigator are manufactured from fresh materials with no prior service history, the strongest choice for Navigator vehicles in high-corrosion environments. Remanufactured calipers use original Lincoln Navigator housings rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new units at a lower price point for most Navigator replacement applications.

Signs the Caliper Kit on Your Lincoln Navigator Is Due

• Lincoln Navigator pulling to one side during braking, one caliper applying more force than the other
• One brake pad on your Navigator worn significantly more than its pair on the same axle
• Brake drag on the Lincoln Navigator with a wheel that runs hot after normal driving
• Soft or sinking Navigator brake pedal caused by a caliper piston seal leak
• Brake fluid visible around the Lincoln Navigator caliper piston boot
• Persistent metallic dragging noise from one Navigator corner not explained by worn pads

Why GeoBrakes for the Lincoln Navigator Caliper Kit

Calipers for the Lincoln Navigator are the most position-specific brake component in the catalogue. Left and right calipers for the Navigator are not interchangeable. Our vehicle selector confirms the correct caliper kit for the Lincoln Navigator exact year, axle position, and left or right side before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions - Lincoln Navigator Disc Brake Caliper Kits

Should I replace both calipers on my Lincoln Navigator at the same time?

It is strongly recommended. If one caliper on the Lincoln Navigator has seized or leaked, the caliper on the opposite side has experienced the same conditions and age on your Navigator. Replacing both restores balanced, even braking and eliminates the risk of the second Navigator caliper failing shortly after the first is replaced.

Do I need to bleed the brakes on my Lincoln Navigator after installing a caliper kit?

Yes. Opening the hydraulic circuit on the Lincoln Navigator to install the new caliper allows air to enter. After installation, the brake circuit on the Navigator must be bled at the caliper bleeder screw to purge all air and restore a firm, consistent brake pedal on your Lincoln Navigator.

What is the difference between a new and remanufactured caliper in the Lincoln Navigator kit?

A new caliper for the Lincoln Navigator has no prior service history and is the stronger choice for high-corrosion environments. A remanufactured caliper uses an original Navigator housing rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new at a lower price point for most Lincoln Navigator applications.
